A helping hand

Hi folks, It’s been a busy day today, with meetings and appointments here & there. Still, that are all of the type where you’re helping out being helped, so it’s all good news. Oh, how I am enjoying the part time hours! It’s certainly helping keep on top of things, and it’s a great feeling not to just collapse in a tired mess at 5pm on a Friday. Polish the halo Earlier in the day, I spent some time with an former colleague – well, virtually speaking – as they wanted some help, around getting on top of the hot digital mess, that modern office life seems to create. We had a good chat about various things and we managed […]

Colour me happy

Hi, Ah, hello Long Weekend! Well, for we part-timing part-timers, every weekend is a long one. It may sting in the wallet, but it feels good in the soul 🙏 Ah, there’s a nice dose of Posiblogging! 🥰 Today’s post will be very much What Happened At Chams. I mean, we could talk about a lying liar who lies, and why a certain result didn’t matter to them. But who wants to hear about liars? Well, except when they’re caught out 😉 Let’s move on! Cue big queues I was a little later setting off that usual on Thursday night. Not by any great amount, but – like the school run and the rush hour – the wrong fifteen minutes […]

Circular

Hi, Yay for Fridays: the blessing of part-time folk and those in need of a rest. Well, ‘and/or’ but not Andor, which is different thing altogether. Keep up, young padawans 😉 Yesterday I was thinking about what I might write about, as I was beginning to feel like I was stuck in a bit of a loop. Readers of a certain age – that would be me, as well – may wish to mutter the film line “Groundhog day!” 🙂 Cue a wee public domain picture as I’m trying to reduce any graphical AI generation. Reduce, reuse, and recycle! 🤗 So, yeah, the feeling of being in a bit of a loop remains. Perhaps not having significant or impactful events […]

Unexpected and appreciated

Hi, How’s things? Hopefully good, and if not yet there; fingers crossed – oh and “may the odds be ever in your favour” 😉 A fair few things to report and quite a bit to be thankful for. Werking at work So my first pay cheque is due shortly. How nice! Not quite sure what the amount will be, but it’ll certainly help with the bills. Apparently I’m due a tax rebate as there’s been a mistake since my last employment. That’ll top things up nicely! 🙏 Better not say anything too loudly – or make any plans – as the Fates may have other plans for that: the unexpected expenses! 🙃 No one expects the unexpected expenses, etc… Well, […]

Paws, pins, and draws

Hi, Well, we’re out of January and I guess that makes us a little closer to spring. Perhaps the luxury of some blue skies, rather than the grey, and a break from the rain would be nice. Not much to report this week and perhaps – given the state of the world elsewhere – that’s a good thing. Paws In terms of the little things, the Orly treatment for my nails seems to be working well. Switching between the nourishing and the strengthener has meant they’re retaining their shine and a little bit of length. As I’ve said earlier, quite the luxury of affirmation. It’s not until now that the penny has dropped around just how much I see my […]

Seasonal

Hi, Well, that’s the first week of work in the bag. I’ll not go into the full details, however I will say two things. Firstly, I think the induction into the team was the best I’ve ever had. That and the organisation – or at least the core team I’m working with – has more women than men. Again, a good thing for someone like me, given I’m certainly not a macho type. Plus I’m working from home, so ‘office attire’ can be mixed and matched – provided the top half passes as masc 😉 Chams We had a spike of ‘guests visiting the forum’ over at Chams HQ. Not that any bots can see much; it’s all locked away […]
